Several House Republicans have come out for impeachment, including Liz Cheney.

Odds on Trump resigning a couple of days before his time's up and Pence pardoning him?

A timeless battle between Trump's ego and his not wanting to go to prison lol.

Pompeo cancels Europe trip after EU foreign minister calls Trump a "political pyromaniac who must be brought before a court".

He might as well quit too, no country wants him.

If Trump wants to flee the country he better use his time left to make some phone calls lol.

I'll bet he's buzzes off to Russia or Ukraine or some other former USSR country.

I always thought Dubya was a worse POTUS than Trump but i think Trump just passed Dubya on the list.

oh brother, in my book trump passed way beyond worse than dubya before he was even elected. The interview when he bragged about being able to "grab women by the **** because they think you are a star" did it for me. And his time in office has been equally as incorrigible. I wasn't a big fan of dubya but I bet a majority of sensible Americans would be glad to welcome him back, anything to get rid of trump!

Dubya wasn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer and made some really dumb decisions but at least he is a reasonably decent human being. Trump has no redeeming qualities at all.

one is a war criminal, the other led a sedition on his own country....  I suppose at least war crimes aren't against your own people....  if you think that counts for something.

Well talking about grabbing women by the ying-yangs is low, but a POTUS sets a pretty low bar when they lie to the US public, the UN, and allies to start a needless war that kills hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of US soldiers while creating the power vacuum that allowed ISIS to form.  Oh and tortured prisoners.

Trump has lied to the public more than Bush ever did.  Not saying the Bush admin was honest, just that the Trump administration is just so... much... worse.

the UN,  and allies

While Bush didn't get U.N. backing for Iraq, he probably didn't do as much damage to international relationships overall as Trump has.

Bush gave countries the feeling that "I don't like what America is doing but we can eventually get back to normal". Trump gave countries the feeling that "We can never trust America again".

to start a needless war that kills hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of US soldiers while creating the power vacuum that allowed ISIS to form.

Yup, its a given... Bush shouldn't have gone into Iraq. But whatever the death toll was, it will probably be exceeded by the number of deaths Trump could have prevented had he handled covid better.

Oh, and as I pointed out... if your only concern is body count... Bush actually ended up saving lives by supporting programs that involved disease prevention in the developing world.

Oh and tortured prisoners.

Torture? You mean the thing that Trump said works, and that he was planning on bringing back? (I don't know if he ever followed through, he had no problem employing advisers who were involved with torture in the past.)

Yes, the use of torture was another dark mark on the Bush record. But then, Bush never locked hundreds of children in cages after separating them from their families. Oh, and Trump has had more than 3 times the number of federal inmates executed than Bush did.

Now, which is a bigger transgression... torture of inmates or family separations/jailing of children? Might be a value judgement, but since more children were impacted by Trump's policies than prisoners were affected by Bush's, I'd have to say Trump comes out looking worse here.
